The last part of my resolution is to get our apartment into tip-top shape! I'm a slow-and-steady purchaser,
waiting...thinking...comparing....thinking...mulling...saving....waiting....until I'm finally
ready to take the plunge. We got an early start on the resolution yesterday by going on a mini spree, and purchasing the table and chairs above. I just love their slightly Scandinavian and industrial feel. We haven't had a table to eat on for over a year and a half since our apartment couldn't fit one, so it's a real treat to have something that we not only like but that was a great price as well. I've got a DIY upholstered headboard in the works, and lots of fuzzy flokati rugs floating around the house already. Now it's just playing the waiting game while I slowly assemble the rest of the place. Woohoo!

Yep, that's basically how it is around here. I've wasted so much money in the past on home accessories that now I don't spend until I have the full vision for the room in my mind, and the item in question definitely fits that vision.
